There's no such term that I'm aware of, and even if there was, it wouldn't make any sense. Whether something or someone is "fictional" is a black-and-white state. A fictional thing can't be any more or less fictional than another thing anymore than a corpse can be any more dead than another corpse.

It's either fiction or it isn't. No 'doubling up' on "fictional".

Actually, this would make the character VERY real. Be careful...

Double Negative Property
For every real number a,
-(-a) = a
